Agropyron repens var. nemorale Anderss. 

 ex Farwell, Mich. Acad. Sci. Rpt. 6: 203. 

 1904. No basis given, but presumably based 

 on Triticum repens var. nemorale Anderss., 

 Scandinavia. Specimens so named in the 

 Farwell Herbarium are Agropyron repens 

 with awned lemmas. The name was mis- 

 spelled "nemorak" in Bingham, Cranbrook 

 Inst. Sci. Mich. Bui. 22:93. 1945. 



Agrostis affinis Schult., Mantissa 2: 195.

 berg's Descriptio Graminum p. 75. Sporo- 

 bolus muhlenbergii Kunth, Rev. Gram. 1: 

 68. 1829, and Vilfa muhlenbergii Steud., 

 Syn. PL Glum. 1: 162. 1854, are also 

 based on this. (See Hitchcock, Bartonia 14: 

 33. 1932.) 



Agrostis altissima var. laxa Tuckerm., 

 Amer. Jour. Sci. 45: 44. 1843. White 

 Mountains, N. H., Trichodium altissimum

Agrostis pauciflora Pursh, Fl. Amer. 

 Sept. 1: 63. 1814. Not A. pauciflora

 ginia and Carolina." In the Kew Herbarium 

 is a specimen of Muhlenbergia schreberi 

 marked "N. Amer. Mr. Fred. Pursh, Herb, 

 propr." but with no name on the label. The 

 description does not agree with this speci- 

 men, though it suggests some species of 

 Muhlenbergia. A. oligantha Roem. and 

 Schult., Syst. Veg. 2: 372. 1817, Polypogon 

 pauciflorus Spreng., Syst. Veg. 1: 243. 



1825, and Muhlenbergia tenuiflora pauciflora
